For some unknown reason, the comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham was picked to choose how to fit out this Challenger.

I believe they called this the Sand Trooper

Dodge Challenger SRT-8 by AAC Automotive

German car wrap firm CCG Automotive has given the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 a unique look as well as some serious tuning under the hood. Created as the company's demo model, the wrap job features a combination of flashy green and carbon-white colors with contrasting elements in black. LSD wing doors were also added and the front fenders were widened for the three-piece black painted Asanti wheels in sizes 9x22 and 10x22 inches with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Rollers in the dimensions 265/35R22 and 295/30R22. But it's not all about one extravagant wrap job. The company from Monschau also worked over the engine to increase power output from the standard 425hp (317 kW / 431 PS) and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque to 600hp (447 kW / 608 PS) and 470 lb-ft (638 Nm) of torque. This was accomplished by increasing displacement of the 6.1-liter HEMI-V8 engine to 7.0-liters via a stroker kit. a gas guzzler for sure, however, CCG has reeled in the econmy fact by installing a PRINS Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) system which includes two carburetors and a 120-liter tank. Pushed to the limit the Challenger easily exceeds 300 km/h (186 mph) but not before CCG upgraded the notoriously poor suspension with an adjustable KW coilover system. CCG also devoted attention to the interior by covering all cheap looking plastic surfaces, seats, dashboard and headliner with neatly stitched Alcantara and leather in anthracite/black. Red seams and edge piping provide a nice contrast. For tunes, the factory-installed MyGIG hard disk audio system with Radio, CD/DVD player and Touch screen as well as the SRT Option Package II with 13 Kicker SRT high-performance loudspeakers, a 322-watt Kicker SRT amplifier and a 200-watt Kicker SRT subwoofer provide top end sound quality.

Dodge Viper GTS-R by Zakspeed

 Zakspeed has taken the term "race car for the road" to new lengths by taking a former fully loaded Dodge Viper GTS-R race car and converted it to be street legal. This model has definitely shown its endurance and racing genes in the past. It is the same car that won its class in the 1999 Nurburgring 24h. The transformation was no mean feat by Zakspeed Racing. The racing car had to go through a massive overhaul including:

• Spoiler cut.
• Rear diffuser removed.
• Side channels rebuilt.
• New tires and wheels (special order).
• Brake system changed.
• Hand brake system with CNC-machined caliper carriers installed.
• Cooling system changed with additional fans installed.
• Engine peripherals modified,
• Exhaust system adapted,
• Electrics and complete light control changed
• Seats as well as harnesses were renewed and a passenger seat installed

Zakspeed completed the conversion by restoring the former race colors honouring the model's former glory.
